Meeting Success in a Global Alliance

With the coming of the ‘dual carbon’ era, ‘carbon neutrality’ related exhibits were put under the spotlight. A large number of solutions for efficient production, energysaving and emission reduction, biodegradable plastics, bio-based plastics, recycling technologies etc. were the focuses of visitors at CHINAPLAS. Single-material solutions and post-consumption recycling (PCR) technologies in the packaging sector are also gaining momentum. There is growing demand for LCP for 5G application, low dielectric PP, PC modified materials, electroplatable PPS etc. Consumption upgrade inspires innovation; automotive lightweight materials and techniques together with smart surface decoration processes, such as IMD and IML, and high sensory materials applying to AI cockpits were hot topics at CHINAPLAS.

Meeting Success in a

Global Alliance

The activities of acquisition and joint venture are not easy and simple. There is vision, planning and preparation needed to move ahead in this direction. It is necessary to have the involvement of various departments in an organisation so as to provide the inputs and advice. Further you may also need external agencies who have specific expertise in this field to help and advice on how to move ahead.

Vice President, Sangir Plastics Pvt. Ltd., Vapi Growth of any organisation is the aim and focus of promoters or, in other words, the management. Growth of an organisation also, in turn, grows the revenues, the morale of people working with it and its presence in the business circle.

Is Global Alliances Imperative?

In my earlier write-up on project management in the POLYMERS Communiqué, Feb - Mar 2021 issue, I had mentioned about organic and inorganic approach to growth, where with appropriate project management one can find success. Every organisation has focused and planned growth parameters and not all organisations would be interested in multiple sectoral business ventures nor they can acquire by themselves knowledge and expertise for these various businesses.

This brought in the thought and approach for global alliance (may be national or international) and the words like ‘acquisition’ and ‘joint venture’ became buzzwords. In such activities, through an inorganic growth approach, you widen the wings of your business multi-fold. This may not be only in your field of activities, but can be a totally out-of-the-box sector of business where your present business has no connections.

In most favoured state, the industry feels more comfortable if they are in alignment with a similar sector and join hands to increase their presence or contribution to their business. This scenario has been witnessed in the automotive sector where there has been consolidation of vendor counts and suppliers were being classified as Tier 1, Tier 2 and so on. The Tier 1 supplier was considered to be the most favoured and sole supplier. The automotive industry expected that Tier 1 supplier, with the help of Tier 2 and 3 suppliers provide a complete packaged solution. The profit margins were reducing from Tier 1 and beyond. In India as well as globally, many organisations started acquiring and also creating joint venture activities to reduce dependency on Tier 2, 3 and beyond and also managing good profit margins as a single organisation. Few names that come to my memory are Motherson Sumi, Delphi and Varroc who have seen substantial growth by following the route of global alliance (they are present in India as well as globally and today supply to global customers). Vendors and organisations who did not match-up with the industry requirements either cease to grow or had to leave the business or get acquired by others.

There are many visionary organisations who like to venture into various business
